Most overrated player on your favourite team - past or present

[Goose]

Phaneuf got more shit than anybody, people treated him like garbage.

Agreed, but when he first showed up he was in the absolute prime of hype and he couldn't live up to it.

I like Phaneuf, but he was monstrously overrated for the hype he got when he was acquired.

As much as it pains me to say it, Pavelski is my personal choice
In a recent thread about all time best playoff performers to never win a cup his name was brought up a few times. While Thornton and Marleau are seen as all time underperformers. All three guys had some great series and some awful series, but Thornton and Marleau were better players with harder deployment for most their time together.
Love Pavs though.

Tony Amonte for the Blackhawks. Guy could wheel and he could rip it but that's all he could do.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

The oilers suck to other team fans. Draisaitl and Mcdavid are playing with garbage their entire careers apparently so who knows

Maybe Cammalleri with the Habs? Although He was a sick player and that 2010 run was nutty

 

[Brookbank]

Ed Jovanovski for Vancouver.

 

[LurkerMcgee]

Actually no Toronto Maple Leaf has ever been overrated, everyone kind of flies under the radar

Jeff Finger enters the chat…

 

[Brookbank]

Canucks - Ed Jovanovski.

He came to mind before i read your post.

 

[I am not exposed]

Florida Panthers: definitely Patric Hörnqvist

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

Oh we need more huge goaltenders prospect here who did sweet nothing good.
Devils had a few picked in the 1st round: Jean-Francois Damphousse ,Ari Ahonen, Jeff Frazee (early 2nd)
Trying to find our own Martin Biron behind Brodeur lead us nowhere.

Maybe Cammalleri with the Habs? Although He was a sick player and that 2010 run was nutty

Cammalleri was fun to watch.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

John Leclair for the Flyers, once the legion of doom ended was still looked at as a preimere power forward type but was horrifc in the playoffs after Lindros left, and was severly overrated in general imo. One of my fav childhood players, but the truth.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

JT Miller…biggest bozo.
